Top 10 BeagleBoard Projects

BeagleBoard had its fifth birthday this week. We celebrate the 10 coolest BeagleBoard projects since 2008 in this slideshow.

Since BeagleBoard was born five years ago, the four open-source BeagleBoard.org platforms (BeagleBoard, BeagleBoard-xM, BeagleBone, and, most recently, BeagleBone Black) have made a deep impact on the open-source world. They have enabled fun and functional projects, including superhero costumes, robots, and home automation gadgets.

In celebration of BeagleBoard's fifth birthday, we're taking a look at 10 of the coolest projects that BeagleBoard platforms have enabled since 2008.

Iron Man Costume

When one kid wanted to be Iron Man for Halloween, his hacker parents put together the coolest Halloween costume in town. This costume, complete with audio at bootup and repulsor sound effects, is powered by the BeagleBoard with Angstrom Linux. Watch out, Spiderman.You've got competition.

BeagleBoard is really a very much remarkable stepping stone in the field of embedded system for the entire electronics community by TI. As the embedded technology evolves it will not be a single person's ability and task to make the board design working and developing the drivers, and this kind of open source development boards are helping a lot. Thanks for the design to all who have participated in the design and development of the board and community.
